[QUOTE="SVTLightning01, post: 4431748, member: 567816"] Another question. Does the baffle size for the speaker matter? Let me try to explain. When i ordered the rings, i ordered standard size 6.5" rings. The slc 265 mids are a bit larger than a standard 6.5" cutout. When we installed, we shaved the inner diameter of the mdf ring , so the speaker would fit. On my car, to mount the speaker correctly, i had to build up the mdf rings (3 x 3/4") and mount to the door. SO basically the rings are built up on the door and the speaker sits inside the mdf rings (it does not go "into" the door as there is a metal window track there. Behind the mdf rings, i made a cutout so the door is used as an enclosure (someone would of asked) Since the actual speaker is bigger than the standard size rings, the speaker is closer to the mdf than a normal 6.5 would be. Could this cause a "choking" effect by not letting the speaker breathe enough? Is there a rule of thumb as how much room there should be around a speaker when in a baffle? I hope this makes sense, i explained the best i could. [/QUOTE]
